You are just not listening to our comments about “new search”. I’ve been researching for many years, have created many trees, helped many others who have contacted me & have contributed to the correction of thousands of mistranscriptions. Obviously this is of no value to your organisation. Old search enabled the compilation of accurate, valid family trees. The trees that will be created from this monster you have now created will be exactly the opposite and will contaminate all future research for the dedicated genealogists amongst us. ]]>By: Nancy Erwinhttp://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2014/03/06/got-five-minutes-let-us-teach-you-something-new/#comment-206505 Nancy ErwinFri, 07 Mar 2014 02:30:29 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/?p=15191#comment-206505I have tried the New Search when it was first introduced. I was not impressed. I went back to the Old Search. Now you have not given us an option. I just renewed! I work on my family tree daily, for many years a member. Bring back the Old Search, please!!!!!!! I am spending too much time going in and out of screens. In a perfect world the name and dates would match. Now you have not given us an option or the opportunity to play around with the errors in transcribing names and places by Ancestry. Again I ask you to bring back the Old Search! ]]>By: Charley Carpenterhttp://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2014/03/06/got-five-minutes-let-us-teach-you-something-new/#comment-206496 Charley CarpenterFri, 07 Mar 2014 02:11:17 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/?p=15191#comment-206496I’m sure you’ll be inundated with complaints about removing the option to do an old search. Let me add mine. It is very difficult to use the Drouin collection of Quebec parish registers using the new search. The old search was both easier and much more direct. The indexing is quite poor — if it included parents (nearly always listed on the original document) along with the birth/marriage records, then it would be a snap. As it is, one needs to actually look at all the individual images with the same surname at a particular parish in a date range. Using old search this was easy. With new search, it’s basically impossible. You’ve made the point of your service — the vast database of original records — much harder to realize, not easier. ]]>By: Elaine Blackmanhttp://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2014/03/06/got-five-minutes-let-us-teach-you-something-new/#comment-206336 Elaine BlackmanThu, 06 Mar 2014 19:46:01 +0000http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/?p=15191#comment-206336The new search has always made me mad. It does not restrict according to the way I ask and there are too many possibilities. Now, the search is even more restricted as to how I can search, but it still does not restrict the way in which I want the search restricted. I am so ready to get my husband to stop our membership. You have no idea how mad I am. ]]>
